Most people have heard of the pelvic floor, but many don’t know its purpose. Your pelvic floor works 24/7 to support your bladder, colon, rectum and sexual organs. This set of muscles performs many important functions for women and men and should be kept strong and active throughout your life, just like any other muscle. But how do you strengthen pelvic floor muscles? And why is it so important?

On this episode of the Healthier You podcast (https://bit.ly/HealthierYouPod), Dr. Ashlee Williams speaks with Dr. Carolyn Gorman, an ob-gyn at Kaiser Permanente, about how to build pelvic floor strength and why you should.
